Ski Injuries

Ski injuries are common and usually result from falls, collisions, or sudden movements. They often include sprains, ligament tears, fractures, or shoulder and knee injuries, due to the high-impact nature of skiing. Factors like speed, terrain, and improper technique increase risk. Wearing proper gear, staying within skill levels, and warming up can help prevent injuries. Most injuries occur in the lower body, especially knees and ankles, but head injuries can also happen if safety gear like helmets isn’t used. Prompt medical attention is important for serious injuries to ensure proper healing.
